The development of source evaluation skills during adolescence: exploring different levels of source processing and their relationships (El desarroll…
2019
This study examines the development of source evaluation skills in four groups of students from 10 to 19 years of age. We designed a set of tasks based on a distinction between three components of ...
What represents a face? A computational approach for the integration of physiological and psychological data.
1997
Empirical studies of face recognition suggest that faces might be stored in memory by means of a few canonical representations. The nature of these canonical representations is, however, unclear. Although psychological data show a three-quarter-view advantage, physiological studies suggest profile and frontal views are stored in memory. A computational approach to reconcile these findings is proposed. The pattern of results obtained when different views, or combinations of views, are used as the internal representation of a two-stage identification network consisting of an autoassociative memory followed by a radial-basis-function network are compared. Results show that (i) a frontal and a…
Stress scolaire des collégiens et des lycéens : effet de l’appréhension de l’orientation et de la pression de la note
2018
Resume Cette etude a pour objectif d’interroger l’effet predicteur de deux variables liees a l’ideologie meritocratique et possiblement associees au stress scolaire : l’apprehension de l’orientation et l’apprehension de l’evaluation sommative. L’effet differentiel de ces variables sur le stress en fonction du sexe de l’eleve et du contexte de scolarisation (college/lycee) a egalement ete interroge. Un questionnaire a ete diffuse aupres de 609 eleves scolarises dans le secondaire. Les resultats montrent que, globalement, l’apprehension emotionnelle de l’orientation et l’apprehension de l’evaluation sont des predicteurs significatifs du stress scolaire. Des effets differentiels selon le conte…
La adaptabilidad a la carrera media el efecto de la inteligencia emocional rasgo sobre el compromiso académico
2018
Resumen En el presente estudio se comprueba el papel mediador de la adaptabilidad a la carrera en la relacion existente entre la inteligencia emocional (IE) rasgo y el compromiso academico. La muestra comprende 590 estudiantes universitarios espanoles con una edad media de 21.66 anos. En los resultados se confirman las relaciones positivas entre la IE rasgo, la adaptabilidad a la carrera y el compromiso academico. Un hallazgo clave es la confirmacion del papel mediador de la adaptabilidad a la carrera, modelo de mediacion total, en la relacion entre la IE rasgo y el compromiso academico. Este estudio aporta una valiosa contribucion cientifica que permite una mejor y mas precisa aclaracion d…
Emotion Tracking
2020
Previous literature has examined the significance of emotional consumer experiences increasingly pursued by consumers. However, the current knowledge of emotional responses in real-time and real-world consumption settings is still limited. Emotions have previously been measured with observation, self-report, and physiological methods. Digitalization and technological development have, however, advanced these methods as individuals now engage in various self-tracking practices. The chapter introduces emotion tracking as an additional means for measuring emotions. One application, the Emotion Tracker®, was tested by students (n=19) who tracked their emotions (n=617) related to various consume…
Do Price Barriers Exist in the European Carbon Market?
2017
ABSTRACTIt is generally thought that psychological prices in markets primarily traded by professional participants should play a limited role. The authors investigate the existence of key reference points in the European Carbon Market, which can be considered as a market with highly qualified stakeholders. They document the presence of key levels and barrier bands around European Union Allowances (EUA) prices. It appears that traders tend to consider these price levels as resistances in upward movements and as supports in downward movements. Furthermore, the authors have observed that the existence of price barriers affects both return and volume dynamics. Therefore, the results indicate th…
Why women do not use the helmet when riding a bicycle
2018
Women seem to use the helmet when riding a bicycle less frequently than men. Two possible explanations for this behavior are that 1) it is less appalling to them because of lack of comfort or other reasons, or 2) they use bicycles in a more cautious way than men so they feel that they do not need the helmet as much. The present paper explores these two explanations in 5,691 cyclists that responded to an online survey conducted in 17 countries as part of an EU COST project. Answers to questions related to the two aforementioned explanations were analyzed graphically and three questions that showed the most conspicuous differences between males and females were identified. These were: ‘Helme…
Messages beyond the phone: Processing variable message signs while attending hands-free phone calls.
2021
We examined the effects of different types of cognitive distraction coming from a hands-free phone conversation on the processing of information provided by variable message signs (VMS), on driving performance indicators, and on a physiological index of mental effort (heart rate). Participants drove a route in a driving simulator and had to respond to VMS messages under three conditions: no-distraction, visuospatial distraction (attending phone calls with questions inducing visuospatial processing), and conceptual distraction (attending phone calls with questions requiring semantic memory). Results showed more errors responding to VMS messages in the visuospatial distraction condition. In a…
Effectiveness and user acceptance of infotainment-lockouts: A driving simulator study
2019
Abstract Lockout is a system-initiated distraction mitigation strategy that renders certain features of in-vehicle information systems (IVISs) non operable while the vehicle is in motion. The aim of this driving simulator study was to examine the influence of lockouts on driving performance and user acceptance. Overall, 52 participants performed six tasks with fully unlocked, partially locked, and completely locked IVIS. Within a repeated-measures design, we assessed user acceptance. As participants were free to decide where to conduct a secondary task, we could only analyse driving performance of 26 drivers. After each driving section, the participants rated the respective system with resp…
Fatigue Monitoring Tool for Airline Operators (FMT)
2017
Abstract A Fatigue Monitoring Tool (FMT) model was constructed for an operational airline in order to manage the fatigue levels of their crews in accordance with Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) practices. This article describes the implementation of the Fatigue Monitoring Tool model and the airline’s aims to put the recent scientific findings on aviation fatigue into practical use. The model consists of proxy points allotted to various duties and rest periods.
